Had a really interesting biology class today, we were discussing Darwin and his ideas, all the common misconceptions and such and it proved to be very enlightening. His theory began with the central question when he saw the variation of organisms on the Galapagos Islands, Here it is: Why did the creator make so many different species if they were not to be seen and enjoyed by humans? Second on that note, there is no scientific way you can answer that question, therefore it can neither be proven true, or false, its just a floating question, one without an answer. So science is not the Antichrist! :) That really wasn't my discovery, but all the same!
Anyway, another great thing that happened to day: I was walking behind my old Spanish prof and she was talking --in Spanish with another prof-- and I actually understood what they were saying! Granted it wasn't complicated stuff, but I at least have the basics down :) yay for good days :)
I am missing everyone!
PS: Aunt Dee, mom had a root-canal done! Ouch!

Hi Sweetie, didn't get your package in the mail yesterday but plan to do so on Monday. I will pick up your stuff from Walgreens and make sure to add to the package. I had a tough time yesterday as the day wore on the pain and swelling got worse in my mouth and the jaw, ended up calling the endodontist and he changed the antibiotic to something stronger and gave me some pain pills which killed the pain but now I feel hung over, woozy, no energy etc. Today I am working slowly on cleaning up my desk, arranging the room again and maybe some scrapbooking. Doug and I are laying low tonight watching the HBO series John Adams (or starting it). I love you darling girl, talk to you soon. Mom
Well put on the whole Darwin thing, and you know, you seem to take a lot of joy in other languages and cultures, are you continuing spanish? I hope so, seems it would be fulfilling for you. Imagine getting a masters in spanish lit and studying all the modern spanish poets and theorists and writers, they are facinating, very different from anything I know from the East or here. New perspectives on life, histry, love, etc. I bet it would be fun to teach it and take students to south america on trips and stuff, you'd make a great teacher. Anyway, love you and miss you much, hope you got my texts.
Love, Lina
I love it when I can understand what my french prof says to me :) I know you won't be able to read this comment in a while because your computer DIED! I am doing my french homework right now and having a difficult time. Love you
